2 Maccabees 15:28-30 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

28. And when they had ceased and were returning with gladness, they realized, by his armor, that Nicanor had been slain.

29. And so, making a loud noise and inciting a disturbance, they blessed the Almighty Lord in the language of the fathers.

30. But Judas, who was prepared throughout all his body and soul to die for his citizens, instructed that Nicanor's head, and his hand with the arm, should be cut off and carried through to Jerusalem.
